Glossin

(Lawyer) purchases Ellangowan estate, and is found by
Counsellor Pleydell to be implicated in carrying off Henry Bertrand,
the heir of the estate. “Both Glossin and Dirk Hatteraick, his
accomplice, are sent to prison, and in the night the lawyer contrives
to enter the smuggler's cell, when a quarrel ensues, in which
Hatteraick strangles him, and then hangs himself.” (SirW.Scott: Guy Mannering.)
